Absolute definition of a PRIVATE, BEACHFRONT, FULL-SERVICE MEXICAN VILLA
1000% satisfaction guaranteed! I planned a surprise 60th bday trip for my Mom and 22 of her friends. Blair, the owner, went above and beyond from helping me in the months prior plan a fabulous itinerary to the every-day last-minute requests during our stay. My guests were in awe from beginning to end. It is also extremely child-friendly. They provided all the heavy-duty gear (high-chair, cribs etc) which saved me a huge headache. Even though she was too young, I know my daughter would have loved the enclosed sand-pit inside the property just for kids.
I have traveled the world and stayed in many private accommodations but this experience, by far, has taken the #1 spot. A very CLEAN & well-maintained property, incredible seemingly private white-sand beachfront access & a house-staff anyone would dream of. Carmen, the chef-extraordinaire, is truly a 1st class culinary expert and her ability to make just about anything we requested was a real treat. Be sure to request her traditional Mexican dinner. A lasting memory is a full-course dinner, poolside on a long table for 22 with a 9-piece Mariachi playing as the sun-set and champagne flowing in the warm ocean air. A DREAM! I cannot promote these homes enough and I intend to plan another group vacation there within the next year. QUE VIVA CASA MACUMBA & MILAGRO!!!

Very Best in Puerto Vallarta
Our family of 10 stayed for 10 nights in December. This is a fabulous property on the best swimming beach in PV. Very well maintained. Bedrooms are large. Numerous comfortable places to relax. Staff is fabulous. A few minutes from Old Town. The owner lives adjacent and is gracious and helpful. Our meals were delicious--no restaurant could compare!. We recommend Casa Macumba without reservation.

Great sprawling home in a great location
Just back from a week at Casa Macumba and was totally satisfied with the accommodations, location and service. This is a great way to spend a carefree week right on the beach with a great staff to care for you. Sandra is a wonderful cook and goes out of her way to make sure you are happy. She'll whip up a pitcher of margaritas, sangria or even a special birthday cake. The home is situated on a swimming beach, safe for children, but is also accessible to the public. Blair, the owner, is readily available and attentive to your needs. We were a party of 10 women celebrating a 50th birthday and all felt totally safe in and about Puerto Vallarta. Thank you Blair and Staff!!

Safe? Absolutely!
We have been coming to Casa Macumba for many years.It continues to improve without losing the rustic appeal that makes it so special.We enjoy being far enough from town but still having easy access to shopping,restaurants,etc.
Quiet,private,clean and well maintained,all of the staff are so accomodating and the food is excellent!
In the new villa,Blair's sense of design shines out. Although art is a personal taste, I appreciate the selection of art in the rooms and on the walls and the blend of old and new as well as the thought that has gone into creating a space of beauty and relaxation

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!
We traveled to Casa Macumba for 8 days with 12 adults and 8 children (ranging in age from 1 to 16). We were greeted at the airport by Nicholas, the owner's driver, and our amazing vacation began. Blair, the owner, is so unbelievably accomodating and friendly, and his staff is amazing! There was never a request that was not fulfilled. We celebrated the first birthday of our youngest and the chefs were more than happy to help us do so. They bought us a pinata, helped us in the yard to do the pinata with the kids, decorated the dining room and baked a delicious cake. They made it wonderful!
Casa Macumba is VERY comfortable, the rooms were kept immaculate by Patricia and the grounds were spotless thanks to Fernando. We were a little concerned with the open floor plan to the pool with the little kids (3 children under 2), but Blair immediately built a "gate" for the door from the living room for us. We found ourselves outside most of the time because the breeze was refreshing and it was such a beautiful landscape.
The menu provided to us was quite extensive and the preparation was delicious! We asked Carlos on more than one occasion to make separate dishes for the kids and he did so with smile!! Hugo cleared the table as soon as we were finished and served the most delicious desserts!
The house is equipped with wireless internet and we all were able to access it with no problems. It is secured, so we were not worried when we had to enter confidential information.
Nicholas, Blair's driver, is also a tour guide. He took us on two separate tours...first to the zip lines and a hike through the rain forest and second to the waterfalls. Both were amazing! He even went to a local village to pick up a professional cliff diver and brought him to the waterfall for us to see him dive! The kids then were able to slide down rocks and "dive" with him!
The house is just a few steps from the beach. The beach is a sandy beach lined with beautiful rocks. Very easy to walk barefoot.
We also were able to see some of the most amazing sights. On our second night we watched an olive ridley sea turtle come out of the ocean and lay her eggs. We watched mesmerized for about an hour. Then on our last night, we were even more amazed as a different nest of turtle eggs began to hatch. We watched with many others on the beach as 15 tiny sea turtles emerged from the nest and made their journey to the sea!
We highly recommend Casa Macumba!!!

FABULOUS VILLA
We stayed at this fabulous villa in June 2010 for 5 nights. The accomadations were first class, the staff were all so attentive to all of our needs. I liken the meals that the chef made to a 5 star restaurant. The kitchen had all of the amenities if you wanted to cook for yourself.
I can't say enough about our stay. It was one of the most relaxing trips we have ever taken.
Taxi service to town was quick and effortless and the drive was less than 10 minutes.
We would definitely recommend this property to everyone and would hope to revisit it in the future. The owner of the villa and his property manager really should be proud of this estate. They were fantastic to work with. Casa Macumba is a jewel.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU..

Our visit in May 2009 to Casa Macumba was everything the owner Blair and the internet said it would be and more. After a week of exploring Puerto Vallarta by both land and sea, we concluded this property is one of only a very few that are directly on the water and with a sandy beach for easy access. It was sunset when we arrived and we were welcomed like rock stars. All of our gear (suit cases, coolers, and fishing tackle) was graciously unloaded from our vehicles by the staff. The salsa music was playing and the waiter was serving up margaritas, we were in heaven. We had arrived after a long journey driving down from Chihuahua. The property includes an authentic Mexican hacienda, just our style. A house with archways, tile roofs, Saltillo floors and rustic furnishing we felt was the only way to get the complete Puerto Vallarta experience. We spent most of our time outdoors around the pool, enjoying the views, ocean breezes and lush gardens.The staff included; a chef, chef’s assistant, housekeepers and pool man were all exceptionally kind and were helpful with more than just around the house duties. They helped us book a fishing boat and recommended a few nearby sites for us to explore. We stayed for five fantastic nights and it wasn’t long enough. We can’t wait to go back and enjoy the hospitality of Casa Macumba and staff. We will be back!

My family and I stayed at Casa Macumba for 2 weeks and thoroughly enjoyed our vacation. It was perfect for families and the staff were amazing. It was so nice to have the option of jumping in the pool while our little ones napped and just having that flexibility was huge for us. The property was beautiful, spacious and quite accurate to it's photos. The beach was alot of fun, a little rough but great for boogie boarding and playing around in the sand. The food was amazing, service excellent and the grounds were very well kept by the staff. The property was approx. 15 minutes to downtown and quite easy to get there by taxi or bus. It was a quieter area which we loved and the owners were great people...as well as their children who often came over and played with our children. All in all...it was a fabulous vacation!
